- Hey Everyone!
Thanks for stopping by again today to see this video where I share how to make a cake topper using the new offset tool in Cricut Design Space.
I absolutely love this tool - even though it it having a few issues at the moment, you can see me come across a few of these problems and how I overcome them.
I am using the Cricut Maker in this video today and the fine point blade to cut my design.
The cardstock is from my local wholesaler, the gold is fixed glitter cardstock 220gsm, and the black is regular glitter 250gsm.

So pleased! It’s lovely to hear that you were able to make something amazing from this video! ❤️ thank you so much for watching!
very well described instructions! Thank you!

Omg I just bought a silhouette cameo it arrives in a few days I’ve no idea how to use it can’t wait to make my own toppers
Hey! Unfortunately I have no experience of Silhouette machines :(
Very cute and instructional. I will try it soon.
Thanks for watching Lee 💛
Thank you. I tried using the offset yesterday and it was hit or miss. I did manage though, but until I watched your video, I thought it was my fault .
Hi Tracey, it’s still hit and Miss even after all this time as it’s still in beta release. Don’t worry about it and just try again with it. It can be temperamental for sure! Thanks for watching 💙
Absolutely fantastic.. love this so much think I'll be trying this next.🤗
It’s so easy once you get the hang of it! 💙
great tutorial thank you for such great tips
Thanks for watching! 💜
Thank you!
Thanks for watching! 💛
i bought a joy to make cake toppers, this is really beautiful can i ask where you get your glitter card from, thank you Bx
Hi Barbara, unfortunately the place I used to buy from went out of business during the pandemic, I’ve been using bits and bobs from papermill direct lately but I also like the glitter range from The Range - Dovecraft I think it’s called. I am currently researching my own paper and cardstock line though so keep your eyes peeled!
Very nice 👍
Thanks for watching 💕
Beautiful. I'm going to try this. What type of paper did you use?
Hi Karen, unfortunately the company that I bought this cardstock from has gone out of business, I would recommend glitter card from Papermill Direct though as their stuff is very good quality and I always find it cuts well on the Cricut. The weights of the card I used is in the description down below so you can see what I have used there. Thanks so much for watching 🧡
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching!
Yes this is helpful! by the way do you know on how to make the snow globe cake topper effect? If so can you do a tutorial?
Hi Gina! Thanks I’m glad that this video helped you, I love requests and a bit of a challenge so keep an eye out for it in the future and I’ll see what I can do! Thanks for watching 😊
Hi Gamma do you have to do 3 layer going to do a minecraft one for a little boy this is my first attempt enjoyed your video Thank You
Hi Bernadette, you can do how ever many layers you’d like I just did three to show how to do multiple. Thanks for watching 💜
Wow that's so cool and amazing am here for you and pls see you
Glad to help thanks for watching! 💙
@@GemmaElisabeth welcome 🤗
Loved this video been struggling on how to make a cake topper, may i ask where you got thr sticky spray at
Hi Dani, sure it’s from Amazon but you can get it in a lot of craft stores too. Thanks for watching G
It would have been nice to detail explain while demonstrating 🤗
Hi Gemma can you tell me which wholesaler’s you use please?
Hi Jilly! Sure I use BGC in Birmingham and Greetings House too! Thank you for watching 🧡
Hi on which app you create topper's?
Hi Sally, if you’re using a Cricut cutting machine you’ll need to download Cricut Design Space as this is the software which tells your machine what to cut from your computer or phone or whatever device you’re using. I do all of my designing in Design Space. I rarely use any other package but if I do I sometimes use procreate to draw and then import into Cricut Design Space.
Can you use a explore 2 machine?
Hi Tray! Yes absolutely! It would work the same but you’d need to set your machine dial to custom when cutting. Thanks for watching 💙
Lovely 🥰 what kind of font do you use ?
Hi Male! This font is October Twilight, thanks for watching 💜
Loved your video, it was awesome.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 💙
I have a question which other spray glue can we use to stick the cardboard together?
Hi Kelsi! Thanks for your question - I use the Crafters Companion Stick and Spray - ou can either use the repositionable one to the permanent one depending on how long you need your cake topper to last - the repositionable one starts to break down after about 6 months - you can find it here amzn.to/3HEVBfD Thank you so much for watching :)
@@GemmaElisabeth they are sold out would you recommend another one that is good?
If I can’t get that one I usually just use tacky glue in a precision tipped bottle and just carefully apply that to each layer. I don’t tend to use a different spray. Hope that helps x
What spray glue is the one you use?
The spray glue that I am using is Stick And Spray by Crafter's Companion and is available on Amazon , just bear in mind that this is not a permanent glue so if you want your cake topper to last for more than maybe 6 months then you should use the permanent version of the stick and spray. amzn.to/3oUUt0T
Thanks for watching 💜
im not sure why when i go to offset doesn'tdo anything what i do wrong?.
Hey Grace, it’s still in testing so can be a little temperamental at times, keep trying and it usually works eventually! Thanks for watching G
what card stock gsm you used
Hi there! The gold is 220gsm and the black is 250gsm. Thanks so much for watching! 💛
So if it doesn’t cut throw if you don’t eject will it recut the same as first
Hi Annie, yes leave your mat in and it will cut in exactly the same line as the first time so you can just press go again and it will 9/10 cut all through - sometimes it just needs an extra pass. Thanks for watching! G
Great tutorial thanks sharing! I will start using my Cricut Maker to sell cake toppers and cupcake toppers soon.
Great! I’m glad that you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
I love how easy and detailed your video is! Great teaching!
Thanks! 😊
Can you still make a cake topper without a laptop/computer? I only have an iPad
Hi Amy, offset isn’t supported on iPad or phone yet so you won’t be able to use that feature but you’ll be able to make a standard cake topper. Thanks for watching Gemma
@@GemmaElisabeth Thank you 💕 will search that. I still enjoyed watching your video. It was refreshing to watch a UK tutorial
Thanks Amy, this is a link to my video on cake toppers without offset, I hope that it helps you How to Make a Cardstock Cake Topper Using your Cricut Cutting Machine - EASY BEGINNER TUTORIAL 💜
@@GemmaElisabeth Thank you so much! 🥰
I don't see Offset on my Design space. Is it free?
Hi Alex, Yes it's a free feature - only on computer though you won't be able to see it on iPads or on your phone if you're using Design Space on those platforms. Thanks for watching :)
@@GemmaElisabeth Thank you I'll have to get my daughters laptop 😄
